Happy Birthday Aunt Christy

Happy Birthday, Aunt Christy!

Today is Mark's little sister's birthday.

Christy has grown to be, not only a sister to me, but also a good friend. She is also quite definitely the FUN Aunt! She is always full of adventure, creativity, and thoughtfulness. Vienne seriously loved her Aunty Christy. They were buds. I have sweet memories of Christy teaching Vienne to swim in the river...Christy teaching Vienne how to roast and enjoy her first marshmallow by a bonfire...Vienne and Christy putting temporary tattoos on each other...just to name a few.

We love Christy so so much. I swear, Mark has the most amazing siblings.

Here are a few photos of Vienne and Christy, together, through the years~

WE LOVE YOU AUNT CHRISTY!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I WISH VIENNE COULD SEND YOU A HUG AND A HAND PAINTED CARD LIKE SHE USED TO. :(

About This Blog

My name is Jenny. I am a stay at home mom, with two beautiful little girls - one on this earth, and one now in Heaven. This blog was once started in 2011, as a place to quickly jot down my precious oldest daughter's darling anecdotes and random events...intended as a gift to her, in her later years. Much to our devastation and dismay, our beautiful Vienne Juliet abruptly and shocklingly passed away on September 6, 2012 from Myocarditis at the age of 4 1/2. This blog, now, is a place to share memories of her and share who she was. It has also become my personal grieving journal as we traverse through this new life without her. We will never recover from this horrific loss, but we hope to keep her alive in our hearts through this blog and other avenues. We just want people to know her...to know how extraordinarily incredible she was. May she touch your heart, as she did everyone around her.
